The property was originally purchased by Dr. Nagrath and his wife, late Ms. Nagrath in 1968 and later redeveloped under a 2010 collaboration agreement, by which the owners were allotted the basement, ground floor, first floor, third floor with terrace, and part of the stilt area.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">After Ms. Nagrath&#8217;s death in 2012, her interest devolved upon Dr. Nagrath by virtue of a will. On 09-05-2023, Dr. Nagrath entered into an Agreement to Sell with the appellant for the sale of the entire basement (&#8220;suit property&#8221;) for a total consideration of &#8377;57,10,00-. An amount of &#8377;5,00,000 was paid as earnest money, and the sale deed was to be executed on or before 30-11-2023.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The agreement contained two critical clauses: Clause 8, which permitted the buyer to either seek refund of double earnest money or to &#8220;get the sale affected in his\/her name through court of law&#8221; in case of seller&#8217;s default; and Clause 11, which bound the &#8220;legal heirs of both parties&#8221; to the terms of the contract.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Before the sale could be executed, Dr. Nagrath passed away on 20-12-2023. His family advocate was informed on 23-12-2023 by a relative that an agreement to sell had been entered into between the deceased and a Chandigarh-based purchaser. Thereafter, the appellant remained in contact with the legal heirs, and at the request of respondent no. 1 (one of the heirs), his company prepared a valuation report dated 18-06-2024 for the property.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">However, without the appellant&#8217;s knowledge, respondent 1 alone executed another Agreement to Sell on 24-06-2024 in favour of respondent 4, covering both the basement and ground floor. Notably, that later agreement itself referred to the earlier 09-05-2023 agreement with Dr. Nagrath and shifted the risk of litigation and previous payments onto the new vendee.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">When the appellant discovered this, he issued a legal notice on 18-06-2025 to the legal heirs, calling upon them to honour the earlier agreement. Respondent 1 replied through counsel on 11-07-2025 denying the claim, while respondents 2 and 3, in their reply dated 05-07-2025, disclosed that they had not consented to the 24-06-2024 transaction and that disputes existed between the heirs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">On 04-09-2025, the appellant filed a civil suit before the District Judge (South), Saket, seeking specific and mandatory injunctions to enforce the 09-05-2023 agreement, to restrain alienation, and to declare the 24-06-2024 agreement void.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">An application under Order XXXIX Rules 1 and 2 CPC was filed for an ex parte ad-interim injunction to prevent third-party transfers. However, by order dated 06-09-2025, the trial court dismissed the injunction application, holding that an agreement to sell does not create any title or interest in the property and that since Clause 8 provided for refund of double earnest money, there was no irreparable loss. The Trial Court held that legal heirs of the deceased vendor were &#8220;third parties&#8221; vis-&agrave;-vis the agreement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Aggrieved, the appellant preferred first appeal before the Delhi High Court on grounds that Clause 11 expressly bound the heirs; that they had actual notice of the agreement; and that respondent 1&#8217;s conduct of obtaining a valuation and executing a subsequent sale acknowledging the earlier one was evidence of collusion. The appellant further submitted that the Trial Court failed to apply for the settled &#8220;triple test&#8221; for injunction as laid down in <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Dalpat Kumar v. Prahlad Singh<\/span>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/yYI3c0qQ\" target=\"_blank\">(1992) 1 SCC 719<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">It was argued that the Trial Court erred in treating monetary compensation as adequate relief because the property&#8217;s alienation would irreversibly frustrate the appellant&#8217;s right to specific performance. The appeal also highlighted that respondent 1 had not obtained probate of Dr. Nagrath&#8217;s will and, hence, had no authority to unilaterally sell the property.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">On the other hand, counsel for respondents 2 and 3 supported the appeal to the extent that respondent 1 had indeed acted unilaterally, entering multiple agreements without probate, and agreed that the subject property required protection.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court held that by order dated 15-10-2025, issued notice in the appeal and granted interim protection to preserve the property.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Taking note of the submissions that respondent no.1 was executing multiple sale agreements without probate, and that the 24-06-2024 agreement itself acknowledged the earlier contract with the appellant, the Court found a prima facie case for protection of the subject matter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"\">The Court directed that:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%; margin-left: 36pt;\">&#8220;Till the next date of hearing, the respondents shall not create any third-party interest in the subject property.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p
